Citrix offers XenMobile, an enterprise mobility management application for securing mobile applications and devices.CitrixXenmobile: flexible mobile data platform2018-04-24T20:07:37.449ZXenmobile is a mobile device management system keeping our email accessable to personal devices without making the device completely locked down and completely wiped in case of breach or end of employment. it allows for the best of both worlds.,security: it allows remote wipe of a device
compartmentalization: when xenmobile is on the device, it can setup its own client, or have a set portion of the local mail client.
mobile support: with a web-based admin portal, no software needs to be setup on a PC to admin remotely [good for on-call techs],issues with non apple, non samsung devices: if it is not setup with an apple or samsung phone, then the Certificate onboarding is a struggle/unable to be done.
user-pin setup: for a user to be onboarded, requiring a PIN; there is a self service way but it is clunky and users prefer to call in instead of trying to follow the 15 step process via PDF
if the certificate is ever lost, due to an upgrade via IOS or android, then the entire process [uninstall, reinstall] has to be done, which means downtime for the end user, and higher call volume when a service provider pushes an iOS update.,7,We've moved from the Blackberry enterprise server to a xenmobile fueled active-data format. saving the cost of the BES and allowing us to be more flexible on devices.
We are moving away from providing devices to allowing employees to use personal devices [through XenMobile], saving us 3 million dollars a year [roughly].
Our call center has had increased call volume with mobile devices during the move, since the addition to more supported devices equals more time per call, we have seen a negative effect there.,BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite,Skype for Business, Citrix NetScaler Access Gateway, Microsoft Office 2016David ReeseXenMobile Bridges the Gap Between HIPAA and End Users.2017-11-27T20:01:11.378ZPrimarily, XenMobile is used by those users who desire to synchronize their corporate email with their personal mobile devices. We are doing a combination of native OS sync and sandbox Secure Email. Additionally, we're providing Secure Web, Secure Notes, and Secure Tasks to some users. We also use it to push VPN or WiFi configurations to that same set of users.,It gives us the ability to manage email synchronization in a HIPAA compliant way while providing the flexibility necessary for our organization.
Through Secure Web, XenMobile provides secure access to internal websites and eliminates the need for cumbersome VPN authentication.
Using Secure Mail, Notes, & Tasks, we can completely sandbox critical business information.,Installation was somewhat tricky, perhaps due to the fact that we were transitioning from another MDM product and needed to be able to support both during the transition.
It was not immediately clear what which components were necessary to ensure compliance to the access policies we had in mind.
Troubleshooting logs could be better. Very often, the troubleshooting is hit or miss. Documentation for the installation of the Secure Hub client, which brokers all transactions, was either non-existent or inadequate. We had to develop our own for the most part.,9,XenMobile has allowed us to maintain HIPAA compliance.
XenMobile allowed us to eliminate the cost of an MDM program as it was included in our Citrix Workspace Suite licensing,ZixOneJerry RobinsonCitrix XenMobile Review - Great ROI2017-11-29T17:10:48.056ZWe use XenMobile across our entire organization. This allows us to stop buying separate company managed cell phones for remote access, allows us secure management of email, access to internal resources, as well as enabling secure file share via share file. Overall, it's been a very worthwhile investment in terms of cost/value.,Secure email container - easily manage on/off boarding of remote employee access
Secure access to internal resources
Secure file share,Free / Busy functionality would be great
Interface changes more than I'd like
Better calendaring interface - more like Outlook would be nice.,10,Specific ROI was on us avoiding purchasing company managed cell phones - one of the most important drivers
Makes on boarding, and especially offboarding remote users a heck of a lot easier w/the ability to wipe the container, even if not connected (via time setting)

Most companies I've dealt with have deployed the XenMobile solution across the entire organization. Thought I have seen XenMobile compartmentalized to only one section of the organization, but to me that kind of defeats the purpose of having a secure mobile application delivery solution.,Security - Top Notch when it comes to security and control
Application Delivery - XenMobile in conjunction with XenApp and XenDesktop can't be beat.
Worx Applications - Talk about a great suite of applications to make mobile apps better.,Deployment - XenMobile can be somewhat difficult and cumbersome to deploy.
I'd like to maybe see some XenMobile integration with Citrix Director. Make Director the one stop for monitoring across the entire Citrix Stack.,10,I don't deal with finances. I'm an "in the trenches" engineer. I try to help my customers' employees work more efficiently.

I think this is a solid product for a limited BYOD scenario where you want to keep personal and professional business separate. If you're looking for full BYOD with the addition of any Android devices [pixel, lightning, etc.,] you will have issues with profile addition.

Primarily, XenMobile is used by those users who desire to synchronize their corporate email with their personal mobile devices. We are doing a combination of native OS sync and sandbox Secure Email. Additionally, we're providing Secure Web, Secure Notes, and Secure Tasks to some users. We also use it to push VPN or WiFi configurations to that same set of users.

It was not immediately clear what which components were necessary to ensure compliance to the access policies we had in mind.

Troubleshooting logs could be better. Very often, the troubleshooting is hit or miss. Documentation for the installation of the Secure Hub client, which brokers all transactions, was either non-existent or inadequate. We had to develop our own for the most part.

This product is well suited for any healthcare organization, especially one privately owned by the providers. Many of our providers were displeased with our efforts to use a product that forced sandboxing of Exchange information. Therefore, we needed something that was flexible enough that sandboxing could be used where desired but still allowed native OS integration where necessary.

We use XenMobile across our entire organization. This allows us to stop buying separate company managed cell phones for remote access, allows us secure management of email, access to internal resources, as well as enabling secure file share via share file. Overall, it's been a very worthwhile investment in terms of cost/value.

Specifically avoid buying company managed cell phones - this could pay for itself in a year or two. Enable BYOD - very effective for iPad users and others using unmanaged endpoints. Securely managing company IP vis a vie remote users - much easier to on and offboard access. Also a great way to securely share files.

Being a Citrix Consultant/Engineer I've implemented XenMobile across a variety of different industries and environments. Most companies I've dealt with have deployed the XenMobile solution across the entire organization. Thought I have seen XenMobile compartmentalized to only one section of the organization, but to me that kind of defeats the purpose of having a secure mobile application delivery solution.

As the world of information technology and information security is today, I cannot think of any scenario in which XenMobile wouldn't be a viable and much needed resource. In my opinion, companies who are not leveraging XenMobile are putting themselves, their data and their customers data at risk.
